Pricing and Hedging Strategy for Options with Default and Liquidity Risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study applies fuzzy set theory to the vulnerable Black-Scholes (1973) or Merton (1973) formula. Expectations of heterogeneity mean option prices are expected to be imprecise, thus making it natural to consider fuzziness to handle this. This article presents a fuzzy approach to value Black-Scholes options subject to non-identical rationality and correlated credit risk. Although no analytical solution is available, this study employs a fuzzy approach to derive an approximate analytical expression for the upper and lower bounds of the European fuzzy vulnerable option price. Furthermore, the Greeks and hedging strategy of the proposed model are also provided in this article.

Discrete time hedging with liquidity risk
We study a discrete time hedging and pricing problem in a market with liquidity costs. Using Leland’s discrete time replication scheme [Leland, H.E., 1985. Journal of Finance, 1283–1301], we consider a discrete time version of the Black–Scholes model and a delta hedging strategy. We derive a partial differential equation for the option price in the presence of liquidity costs and develop a modi...
متن کاملOption valuation with liquidity risk and jumps
5 ABSTRACT This article provides a simple model for pricing and hedging options in the presence of jumps and liquidity costs. In the article, liquidity risk is modelled via a stochastic supply curve function and a jump-diffusion process is approximated by a Markov chain. Local risk minimization incorporating liquidity risk is proposed to price and hedge European options in this discrete10 time ...
متن کاملAmerican Option Pricing of Future Contracts in an Effort to Investigate Trading Strategies; Evidence from North Sea Oil Exchange
In this paper, Black Scholes’s pricing model was developed to study American option on future contracts of Brent oil. The practical tests of the model show that market priced option contracts as future contracts less than what model did, which mostly represent option contracts with price rather than without price. Moreover, it suggests call option rather than put option. Using t hypothesis test...
متن کاملHedging credit: Equity liquidity matters
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t We theorize and confirm a new channel by means of which liquidity costs are embedded in CDS spreads. We show that credit default swap (CDS) spreads are directly related to equity market liquidity in the Merton [Merton, R.C., 1974. On the pricing of corporate debt: The risk structure of interest rates. J. Finance 29, 449–470] model via hedging. We confirm th...
متن کاملPricing Options in an Extended Black Scholes Economy with Illiquidity: Theory and Empirical Evidence
This article studies the pricing of options in an extended Black Scholes economy in which the underlying asset is not perfectly liquid. The resulting liquidity risk is modeled as a stochastic supply curve, with the transaction price being a function of the trade size. Consistent with the market microstructure literature, the supply curve is upward sloping with purchases executed at higher price...
